The TIMES would not have fur
Their noticed the Littleton Islander,
but for the fact that there are some
other parties connected with this
matter. The finger Of Houk is
present and visible, not only In the
articles against the editor, but
shows itself plainly in the notice
given of d. II. Meek, whose name
has been spoken Of vs. q candidate
for Congress. II Mr.. Houk wishes
to discuss his side Of the question
in the TIMES, its columns would be
open to him for his articles; he
need not 60 to Nashville, and en-
ploy an irresponsible paper from
which to issue his Islander, when he
can write to the. TIMES, over his
own name; then he need not ship
hundreds of copies for circulation
into the county.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1887-11-02

The men who were too cowardly
and too much identified with v Risky
to speak for the people of Tennes-
see and their homes, need not apply
to the TIMES for political favors.
In such a contest as we passed
through, the Office seekers who had
MORA word to say in favor Of the
right, what can you expect of them
when public opinion is at a stand
still or low ebb. Temperance men,
let us stand by our guns, flags and
homes. Let's give our votes to men
from whom we can expect some.
thing in the next contest. Let US
not succeed on the wrong, but on
the right. Bad men will cry, now
stand by the ticket, after being cor
ruptly nominated, but when these
men were asked to stand by the
Republican platform they refused
to do 80. Let us lsok out for the
men who were against US In the ter
rifle fight for our homes. Let them
now stand in the rear where they
stood when the people called fol
their help.

We present our readers with an
article from the pen of Hon. Lewis
Tillman, of Knoxville, and, besides
We send it to out in the shape
Of q supplement. We ask all to
read the article; it is well written,
by a man who did good work during
campaign for the amendment. Mr..
Tillman has heretofore acted with
the Republican party, but he is a
thorough prohibitionist and will in
the future connect himself with the
party that comes up to the point
where he stands, or else in the alb
sence of a party will vote for the
men who stand square on the solid
rock. Mr.. Tillman sends it to the
TIMES because it stood for the right
during the campaign. The TINES
believes it to be right to examine
into all phases Of the question, and
take that which is righs7aa'sssssesa

WHAT WILL BE DONE?

There is just now considerable
speculation as to what the two par.
ties will do in their conventions.
In many counties the whisky men
will attempt to send solid delega-
tons to both of the political State
conventions at Nashville. The poll
ticans who were on the saloon side
WILDE very active; they know their
men and will have them in the pri-
maries to govern the appointment
of delegates, and unless temperance
men are active and careful they will
have presented to them the privi-
lege of voting for a solid whisky
ticket at the next election. The
TINES gives notice now that that is
the programme.

EARLY AND LATE BERRIES.

The Strawberry is the leading
berry in Tennessee, Josh Billings
says God might be able to make a
better berry, but he has never done
so. The TIMES will not dispute
either proposition, but will say,
while it is acknowledged by all to
be the best, yet it is berry that
is easily raised in Tennessee, 80
that all may enjoy it's presence on
the table.
A small plot of ground three or
four rods square will grow enough
for any family If cultivated right.
A little more knowledge than all
growers have may help. many to
enjoy this delicious fruit, double the
time it is enjoyed by most families,
In the fall or winter when the
ground Is frozen hard mulch your
vines with stable manure, and II
you do not have this use ashes and
cover with straw or fodder.
In the spring when the frost sea-
SON is past uncover a part Of your
vines for early blooming and fruit
age, then Ia 6 or 8 days after un.
cover q portion more, and at q later
period the remainder, this will give
you double the time for your berries
to ripen in, and you can easily SEE
the difference in the length of time
to enjoy them on your tables. AS 9
question of money making, there il
no doubt about 1t vt 8 cents pei
quart. There is more money in on,
acre than there is in ten acres o
wheat.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1887-11-02
THE DIFFERENCE.

The difference between the Re-
view and the TIMES is, the latter is
governed by principle while the
former knows nothing but policy.
In the absence Of this important
factor, Mr.. Littleton indicates his
unfitness Tor leader in the Repub-
lican party. The party was found
ed on great principles, and was led
by grand men like Seward, Chase,
Lincoln, Lovejoy, Giddings, and
host ofother pure men.
The TINES admits that Mr.. Lit
Teton is not indigenous to Repub-
lican soil; he grew up ip Bourbon
soil, in that division of the party
which is opposed to sumptuary
laws and the observance of the
Sabbath day, so that some allow
ance must be made for the place
where John was politically born,
and the kind of dirt he lived on as a
politician. When we reflect on this
we can make allowance for his dis
loyalty to the principles of the
party, and for the kind of doctrine
he teaches, and for his hanging on
the ragged edge Of both parties,
and why he favored a Democratic
caucus to keep Republicans and
independent Democrats out of Office
and helped Governor Bate into the
United States Senate; and how, in
the recent campaign, he stood with
Bate, Harris, Jefferson Davis, John
j. Vertrees, Ledgerwood, Butler,
Hughes, Num- and the whole clan
of whisky-sellers, and slandered
the good men-the ministers, labor
ing men, farmers, editors, &c.--who
stood for the right. 1t was his pa
per that was Kept alive by contri-
buttons from the enemies of the
Republican party. And now, after
the great campaign, he would SLAM
der the workers of the party who
contributed to send out a name and
fame for East Tennessee, such as
she never had before. Why does he
do this? His cohorts bid him do it,
because the TIMES stands in his and
their way, as leaders, in whiskyiz-
ing the Republican pasty.
John J. Littleton's SANDER of
private character aud his black
guardism will not deter US from
criticising his political acts, as an
officer and journalist. He is not
entitled to be a leader in the Re.
publican party, as he still has on
himshis Bourbon swaddling clothes.
The TIMES has no desire to speak
Of Mr.. Littleton's private character
with it, it has nothing to do; it is
with Littlet0n as a politician tina.
we are dealing. {.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1887-11-02

The whisky men have now inaug-
urated their fight against the editor
of the Maryville TIMES through
Littleton's whisky organ, because
he is irresponsible and can there
fore say what he pleases. He sent
into this county several hundred
copies of his paper, three hundred
of which were sent to Brick Mill for
distribution. It is said that Mary
vile has an agent here who is ex-
pecting to profit by it. The hand of
q Knoxville candidate is seen very
plainly in the thrust at probable
candidate for Congress in another
county. Therefore the large influx
of papers sent here for distribution.

THE ANARCHISTS.


1t is said now that if the Supreme
Court of the United States refuses
to grant the Anarchists writs of
error, that Governor Oglesby, of Il
linois, will commute the sentence Of
four to imprisonment for life, and
let three be hung by the neck till
dead. We do not believe Governor
Oglesby should interfere with the
Judgment of the Court. There is an
immense amount of cheap political
maneuvering brought to bear on the
Governor. This step will be a seri-
Gus mistake.

The knoxville Journal showed up
John Littleton so well in his preten-
tions to run q Republican paper
with Democratic money, that all we
need to say is to refer to the Journal
articles. From these articles the
Crockett coon had to come down.
John pretends to be Republican
in his paper, but If you will watch
him close you will see through his
cloak, the outside of a bourbon
Democrat.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1887-11-02

Littleton's Review says there are
only three pure, true Republicans
in the State, and that Hughes is
one; he does not name the other
two, of course his modesty forbids
him from saying, "Me and the other
feller." 1t is either Num-, Butler
or Houk. Who is it, John? Tell it
out, and do not be so modest.
Would not these three look pretty
at a trough, drinking together +?
They could, of course, say, "When
shall we whiskyites meet again"

IT is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Every man who is talking in IA
vor of Local Option ought to read
the article contributed to The Issue
by Judge Thos. j. Freeman, on the
question:
Is LOCAL OPTION CONSTITUTIONAL?
The subject is made plain that
the Legislature is the only author
lied body in the State to make laws,
and the acts Of that body must be
in accordance with the Constitution
of the State. The Constitution of
the State nowhere author ICES the
Legislature to transfer its power to
any other body, or to a. vote of the
people of a county or city to make
one kind of laws in one county and
a different kind of laws in another
county. In Georgia, Kentucky and
a number of other States the courts
have held that this could be done
under their constitutions. Evident
ly this power has been granted the
Legislature of the State to do this
The Supreme Court of the State of
Tennessee has decided that prohi-
bition is constitutional; that it has
the power to pass law prohibiting
the sale Of intoxicating liquors.
The decisions under the Four-mile
law proves this, as that is complete
prohibition, that no person can sell
liquor as beverage within four
miles of public school, except such
public school shall be located inside
of city or town corporation. Gov.
Brown vetoed bill giving towns
and cities the right to make a law
to prevent the sale of liquors, as
they clearly had no light to do SO,
as the Constitution gave no such
authority.
With this view before the people
of the State it is useless to 60 forth
to fight on this ground; it is, and
will be, labor in vain. 1t is evident
that the work for the Legislature
to do is legislative prohibition. This
is clearly authorized under the de-
cisiOn of the courts in the State.
The meeting on the 9th and 10th
inst. must endorse this line of action
any other would be to abandon a
certainty for doubtful work. Let
the fight be made for Senators and
Members of the Lower House who
are straight prohibitionists. If one
party presents a whisky man, OF
one that is of doubtful standing, lei
there be a peoples candidate, fol
whom all can vote. The 117,OOt
have the balance Of. power, and LEI
| " stand together on this question.
I Since examining the question o
; Local Option the TIMES is unwill
ing to spend time in fighting for al
; unconstitutional measure. So w
take our stand for legislative pro
hihitiOn.

1t is thought that Ledgerwood
will be the whisky candidate for
Congress. If there is any honor in
being such q candidate he certainly
is entitled to it, as he did solid work
for the saloon interest. Ledger
woods staff and body guard were
saloon men, bar-keepers, &C., and all
know who the &c. were.

LITTLEToN's LOTTERY.

John Littleton, with hundreds of
lottery tickets sent out, might tell
how much it netted him from his
subscribers, and he might tell when
and where he had his drawing,
whether in Virginia, Kentucky or
Louisiana. A number of his sub
scribers would like to know.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1887-11-02

The whisky men have inaugu-
rated a powerful fight against the
Maryville TINES because it refuses
to support whisky man for Con-
gress. John J. Littleton's paper is
the medium through which the
work has been commenced. 1t will
probably be aided by local organ.

Neither the editor of the TIMES
nor the committee on invitation of
speakers brought Luther Benson to
Maryville to lecture. He is q trav-
cling tramp who makes his living
by that kind of work. He Is an eff
fective speaker, as he knows the re-
suit of whisky drinking from ex-
perience.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1887-11-02

The TIMES has not expressed any
preference for a candidate for Con-
gress. 1t is willing to support any
good man for that place if he is not
whisky guzzler. No man can
have the support of the TIMES who
is under the influence of the saloon.

The attack of John ]. LittletOn on
the editor of the TIMES was not
made for himself, it was for bosom
